The journey through fairy tales is like the road to adulthood: you have to lose someone and you have to let go of something. Choices have to be done, mistakes have to be made, leaving, perhaps returning, learning to be afraid. And when the world is ruled by fear, life is burdened with an excess of traumas, unfulfilled desires and hopes. What is virtual and imagined turns out to be more real than what is seen around. In the play GRIMM: black snow, the stories collected by the Grimm brothers are confronted with what we fear most today, and the menacing, dark forest, like a refrain recurring in many of them, becomes the inside of our own heads.
